Like the truck, very clean look. One thing I did notice right away however is it appears you have a really strange castor angle going on there. I don't know if you've done this on purpose to try and change the steering but it sure seems to have dropped the two motors down low to where they may hinder your ground clearance and approach angle. If this is just how it came out you may want to look at pulling in those lower links to straighten it out some. As said the truck looks very nice and clean.

Nice build. Got a close up pic of how you installed your lower links to the axles? Did you custom make anything? Also what ballends are those? They sure look stout! |

yes, limit the flex. Perhaps I missed it, but what is your ground clearance? |
